DeLacy Ganley has been serving as the dean of Claremont Graduate University's School of Educational Studies since 2018. Prior to being appointed dean, she was the director of Claremont Graduate University’s Teacher Education Department from 2003-2017. As director, Ganley oversaw the school’s teaching credential programs, helped to ensure that the School of Educational Studies was at the national forefront of teacher preparation, and expanded discussions around teacher quality to include global and intercultural competencies. The School relies upon Ganley’s background as a K–20 educator, her experience working with linguistically and culturally diverse populations, and her administrative creativity. With teaching experience at the elementary, high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels, Ganley possesses a fundamental understanding of programming needs across the education spectrum. She has worked in and partnered with a variety of traditional and non-traditional educational organizations, including comprehensive public schools and districts, charter schools, Montessori schools, juvenile centers and court schools for adjudicated youth, boarding schools, Waldorf schools, homeschooling associations, and international schools. Ganley is one of the university’s most successful procurers of external funding. Since 2007, she has secured or helped to secure over $30 million in grants. Most of these grants relate to the preparation of teachers (particularly STEM educators), the promotion of civil society, and international exchange.
